F. Moinat, Categories and intentional analysis in Husserl, RThPh 2006/II, p. 97-110.
The notion of “category” runs right through the history of philosophy from its first formulation by Aristotle. It holds a central place in the logic developed by Husserl. Theaim of this article is to show, over and above a simple exposition of formal ontology, how categories belong to transcendental constitution. Like any real or ideal object, categories are related to a structured ensemble of intentional acts capable of taking into account their emergence and their explicit theme. This allows us to show that the problematic of constitution for Husserl, situated after the transcendental turn of 1907, already began at the time of Logische Untersuchungen.
